Dr.Web virus database


The advantages of Dr.Web virus database


Dr.Web anti-virus started to be developed in the early nineties of the twentieth century, when the Internet was just developing and was not a "global network", when only few companies could afford access to the global network. In conditions where the traffic had to cost a lot and updated as often as possible, virus database, and thus while it downloads from the Internet, should be minimal. Such was the task for the developer and it was done - until now, the Dr.Web virus database is the smallest of all the anti-virus programs. This is achieved through the development of its own technology to create virus database on the basis of a very flexible language, which was designed to describe the bases. Small virus database saves traffic, the less space on disk after installation and RAM than other database vendors. The small size allows the virus database Dr.Web software components to interact in high speed without causing excessive load on the processor.

Efficiency creating signatures viruses

Efficiency creating signatures directly affects the detection of viruses


Company Carbon Black, which is engaged in the development of solutions for the detection of viruses using the online services, conducted an interesting study. According to the findings Carbon Black, if the signature of the virus just misses the virus database product for the first six days after the first detection, is likely the virus will never appear in the database, so that it will be impossible to detect.
